I know it may not look like we're enforcing that, but those answers that don't have that sort of back up sometimes end up deleted by the community, because they recgonize that answers with back up have a bit more weight than answers that don't. I really like your answer so far, I didn't want to see it deleted. | |

What we want to know is in what context you used this technique, what exactly you say and what was the other person reaction. Feel free to read more meta post to understand why exactly we have those requirements. You might also be interested in this blog post about good and bad subjective. | |

| Jun 21, 2019 at 22:08 | comment | added | ElizB | Hi Dave! Great start for an answer to this question. Can you tell us more about why you think this is a good idea? Answers on Interpersonal Skills SE need to be well-justified and backed up with either evidence or personal experience or well-elaborated logic that shows the OP that this is a good idea. See this meta post for more information. Please edit your back-up into the answer, and thanks in advance! | |
